Morphology control of carbon nanotubes in continuously spun fibres

Sundaram R.M., Koziol K.K., Windle A.H., University of Cambridge, UK

Multifunctional attributes of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted the focus of industrial and academic communities alike. Translating the properties of individual CNTs into their macroscopic ensembles – fibres, yarns or films - is envisaged to [...]

Germanium antimony sulphide nano wires fabricated by chemical vapour deposition and e-beam lithography

Huang C-C, Tai C-Y, Liu C-J, Simpson R.E., Knight K., Hewak D.W., University of Southampton, UK

Germanium antimony sulphide (Ge-Sb-S) amorphous thin films and nano wires have been directly deposited and patterned on SiO2-on-silicon substrates by means of chemical vapour deposition, e-beam lithography and dry etching. The Ge-Sb-S thin films were [...]

Growth of Ge nanowires by chemical vapour deposition technique

Phani A.R., Grossi V., Passacantando M., Ottaviano L., Santucci S., National Institute of Nuclear Physic, IT

Germanium, Mn doped Ge nanowires have been synthesized using chemical vapor deposition with Au nanoparticles (with size ranging from 5nm to 10 nm) as nucleating centers (catalysts) and Germanium, Manganese powders as a source for [...]

Growth of Carbon Nano-Structures in Ceramic Materials

Kufazvinei C., Leahy R.W., Lipson S.M., Blau W.J., Dillon F.C., Spalding T.R., Morris M.A., Holmes J.D., Allan G., Patterson J., Trinity College Dublin, IE

The investigation aims at growing carbon nanotubes of controlled diameter from inside pores of ceramic materials. The resulting carbon nanotubes will then be used in electrons as thermally conductive substrates in die mountings.
